Full solution

Q. Solve for ww.\newline0=9w0 = -9|w|\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinew=w = _____ or w=w = _____
  1. Understand the equation: Understand the equation 0=9w0 = -9|w|.\newlineWe need to find the value of ww such that when we take the absolute value of ww and multiply it by 9-9, the result is 00.
  2. Isolate the absolute value: Isolate the absolute value |w|\(\newline). Divide both sides of the equation by \$-9\) to get the absolute value by itself. \(\newline\)\(0 / -9 = (-9|w|) / -9\)\(\newline\)\(0 = |w|\)
  3. Solve for \(w\): Solve for \(w\).\(\newline\)The absolute value of a number is always non-negative, and the only number whose absolute value is \(0\) is \(0\) itself.\(\newline\)Therefore, \(|w| = 0\) implies that \(w = 0\).
